8
9A man who [[AmnesiacHero lost his memories]] and washed up on the island's beach. He becomes a servant for the Ohara family, but because of Rinne's death, he uses a "cold sleep" machine developed by Karen's mother to go to the future.
10----
11* AlliterativeName: '''S'''etsuna '''S'''anzenkai
12* AlternateSelf: [[spoiler:Setsuna and Rinne have met their many future reincarnations vía cryogenic sleep time travel.]]
13* AmnesiacHero: Setsuna remembers nothing when he wakes up at Urashima, and even his name seems to belong to someone else.
14* AmnesiaLoop: [[spoiler:Rides this trope hard.]]
15* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The RE: ending. Although it's implied Setsuna and Rinne eventually got together for good.]]
16* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:Setsuna resolves to help Rinne finish her time machine during the RE: Ending. And after doing all he can he then decides to cryo-sleep into the future once more so he can test the machine once it's completed. It's unclear how far into the future he goes but one secret CGI at the Gallery implies that he eventually stays with Rinne; for good.]]
17* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:The data CD that Setsuna has with him at the beginning of the game, turns out to be blueprints for a time machine. The actual origin of it is never revealed.]]
18* ChekhovsSkill: [[spoiler:After endless leaps into the future trying to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong, Setsuna manages to retain his memories, allowing him to fix one of the many futures he's traveled into.]]
19* ChickMagnet: Either it's his carefree and amicable nature or how easy he is to trust and approach, but Setsuna has little trouble winning the heroine's hearts. Sadly, he doesn't seem to be particularly interested in any of them [[spoiler:Except for Rinne.]]
20* ChivalrousPervert: Though the chivalrous part doesn't show up very often. When he claims to be allergic to tatami, Karen offers to let Setsuna enter her room. Setsuna then quickly claims that he loves Tatami to death.
21** The anime flips it around a bit. He's much less bold when it comes to impolite matters, leading to more honest NotWhatItLooksLike situations and leaving him to be more chivalrous.
22* {{Chuunibyou}}: After waking up on the island, Setsuna claims to everyone that he is a time traveller from the future whose objective is to save the world. [[spoiler:It is this trope]].
23* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He tends to view everything in the most outlandish way possible.
24* ConvenientlyUnverifiableCoverStory: Right after washing up at Urashima, Setsuna infers he comes from the future and his mission is to save the world.
25* DeadPersonImpersonation: [[spoiler:Setsuna impersonates both Ohara Setsuna (although unintentionally) and O'hara Setsuna. Both are long dead when this happens, naturally.]]
26* DestructiveSavior: [[spoiler:No matter what future he's in or how good his intentions are, everything goes to hell once he gets involved. He manages to save one of the many futures he visits, but that's just one of countless. Oddly, no one ever mentions this, not even Setsuna himself.]]
27* DidYouJustHaveSex: Played for laughs [[spoiler:after Setsuna and Rinne do the deed. He even tells to himself how size doesn't matter much in the end.]]
28* FakeOutFadeOut: When Setsuna contemplates suicide for breaking an expensive vase, the game screen displays an ending screen in the same format as any other ending.
29* FirstKiss: Setsuna claims to have had his first kiss with Karen in a dark room. (Which, while misleading out of context, is true.)
30* FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[spoiler:Is this trope incarnate. He's a time traveler always stranded on a distant future which makes quite difficult to confirm his actual origin. The RE: Ending heavily implies that the original Setsuna might have lived in Urashima hundreds of thousands of years ago.]]
31* GenreSavvy: One of the time travelling methods Setsuna is familiar with and repeatedly refers to is exactly the choice system in visual novels.
32* GoodWithNumbers: He solves Kuon's faster-than-light rocket questions shockingly fast.
33* KillingYourAlternateSelf: [[spoiler:Early in the game Setsuna has memory flashes of someone saying he's going to kill "Setsuna". In other words, himself. Later during the Winter chapter, we learn that in fact it was Setsuna who said this after traveling to the future and plans to use Rinné's time machine to fix everything by killing his past self, so that both of them never meet each other and [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Rinne can live relatively peacefully]]. He drops the idea later though.]]
34** [[spoiler:During Rinne's route, thanks to Sara's ridiculous theories, Setsuna thinks he traveled to the past at some point to kill himself. This is entirely false.]]
35* TheKlutz: Seriously, how can he manage to mess up so many chores?
36* LoveHurts: [[spoiler:He leads to Rinne's death, and he's doomed to chase after Rinné.]]
37* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Every time you trip a bad ending flag.
38* MysteriousNote: [[spoiler:Setsuna finds one in Rinne's father's book, published ten year prior: Setsuna must die.]]
39* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Setsuna being beaten up by kids on the beach, then getting questioned by Harisu. Then meeting Kuon naked for the first time and taking her to Harisu. Then stripping on the beach in front of Sara and Karen, after Karen stripped off her maid suit to reveal her bikini.
40* NoSenseOfDirection: He regularly gets lost on the small island.
41* NotAMorningPerson: To the point that Karen has to wake him up.
42* ObliviousToLove: Justified since he has no memory and doesn't remember [[spoiler:how much he's head over heels with Rinne. He subconsciously shoots down other prospects due to this however.]]
43* ParadoxPerson: By the end of the game, you learn that Setsuna Sanzenkai is not [[spoiler:Rinne's Setsuna, nor is he Rinné's brother Setsuna. He doesn't have any pre-established connections in either era and unlike the other major characters, he lacks a counterpart in either era to narrow it down (since the other two Setsunas are clearly counterparts of each other). Before the StableTimeLoop is debunked, Setsuna Sanzenkai seems to paradoxically exist only within a time loop, but even after it's debunked an actual origin for him is never revealed]]. The closest thing to a hint is that, even without his memories, he seems to be more familiar with Japanese society and culture circa 1999 than the local girls who have never left their island, to the point where his knowledge of laptops comes in handy when [[spoiler:they're a LostTechnology in the future, but the rest of the future ISLAND society appears to always be a shock to him]].
44* ParentalIncest: [[spoiler:Setsuna and his daughter Rinne develop a romantic relationship, sleep together and during Rinne's route even get married. To be fair, Setsuna wasn't aware of this fact. Chillingly, during the RE: Ending, Rinne heavily implies that she figured this out at some point. Considering her ending, she doesn't seem to mind.]]
45* ReincarnationRomance: [[spoiler:He's been perusing Rinne and Rinné's reincarnations throughout time. It usually ends in tragedy, leaving him to go looking once more.]]
46* ReplacementGoldfish: While he flip-flops on whether or not he's Rinne's original Setsuna, it doesn't change the fact that his amnesia makes him a different person than the one she's looking for.
47* RippleEffectProofMemory: Averted. [[spoiler:Setsuna invariably loses all his memories after each cryogenic trip. The trope is played straight after many, many trips, though.]]
48* TeenyWeenie: Harisu mentions to Setsuna that the CD he used to cover up his private parts was a single. Later, he claims that other people on the island have begun to call him Single-kun.
49* TemporalMutability: [[spoiler:Played with. Setsuna doesn't actually travel to the past. He simply freezes himself in a cryogenic tube and wakes up thousands of years later. It's always a one-way trip, however, so any changes he makes in the future are carried over to the next future he travels to. The RE: ending reveals that he has traveled to the future countless times and by extension, has introduced many changes into the timeline. So this is one of the most flexible examples of the trope.]]
50* TimeLoopFatigue: Experiences a variation in which it's not only positive, but it's the fatigue ''itself'' that ends up [[spoiler:restoring his memory, and thus allowing him to finally break loop. Well, at least until we learn that it hasn't technically been a loop]].
51* TrueLoveIsExceptional: He's a firm believer that BuxomBeautyStandard, though all of his love interests are on the smaller side.
52* UselessProtagonist: [[spoiler:Inverted. Setsuna has a massive inferiority complex and indulges in it right to the end. Uran echoes him from time to time, but this never really cements itself. Setsuna is not useless at all. He's educated, intelligent, has social skills, manages to land well paid jobs and is well loved by those he involves himself with. Yet several characters demean and undermine him. His monologues are quite pessimistic and this doesn't really change until very late in the game.]]
53* VagueAge: He can't remember his true age. He thinks he's in his early 20s, though most everyone else thinks he's in his late teens. [[spoiler:Add in the numerous cold sleeps he went through and he's ''at least'' 60,000 years old by the end of the story.]]
54* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His excuse that Sarah's motion sickness was actually morning sickness had major consequences for ISLAND. [[spoiler:Learning his daughter was "pregnant" lead her father to prepare to reissue collars, something other members of the church opposed. They ultimately lead a coup, killing the Garlands and causing the collapse of ISLAND.]]
55* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:He lacks common sense, confidence and productivity. Most of the time his meddling is ill-timed or pointless. Worse is, that he is always well aware of his shortcomings, yet he never works to correct them.]]
56* WistfulAmnesia: He sometimes has flashes and impulses from his long lost memories. [[spoiler:That's because he's [[AmnesiaLoop done this so many times]] that the memories are practically burned into his soul at this point.]]
57* WrongNameOutburst: A weird example where the two names are phonetically identical. Promising Kuon he'll make Rinne happy on the Midsummer route leads to Rinne's happy ending. Saying he'll make [[spoiler:Rinné]] happy will lead Kuon to realize he's [[ReplacementGoldfish just using her daughter as a substitute,]] and she'll veto their relationship.

60[[folder:Rinne Ohara]]
61!!Rinne Ohara
62->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukariTamura (Japanese), Creator/JadSaxton (English)
63[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/210737.jpg]]
64
65The series' main heroine, she is a member of the Ohara family which is influential in the island. Because of an experience she had several years ago, she usually stays at her family's manor and rarely went out until she met Setsuna.
66----
67* AbusiveParents: While Kuon would never do anything to hurt her, [[spoiler:the real Kuon and her husband regularly abused Rinne to the point Uran suspects she developed PTSD.]]
68* AdaptationalCurves: She has a noticeably larger chest in the anime adaptation.
69* AlternateSelf: [[spoiler:Setsuna and Rinne have met their many future reincarnations vía cryogenic sleep time travel.]]
70* BigFancyHouse: So much that even Karen, who comes from another of the three families, envies it a lot.
71* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The RE: ending. Although it's implied Setsuna and Rinne eventually got together for good.]]
72* DidYouJustHaveSex: Played for laughs [[spoiler:after Setsuna and Rinne do the deed. He even tells to himself how size doesn't matter much in the end.]]
73* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Her voice actress Creator/YukariTamura sings the anime's opening song.
74* HappilyEverAfter: [[spoiler:Rinne's route ends like this. With either the prospect of marriage or an actual wedding taking place.]]
75* HasAType: She LikesOlderMen and is immediately drawn to guys named Setsuna. [[spoiler:Knowingly or not, both of her loves also have incestuous bends: her Setsuna was her adopted brother, and the protagonist Setsuna is her biological father.]]
76* LoveHurts: She's been fruitlessly searching for her Setsuna, wallowing in her loneliness. [[spoiler:She also clearly carries a torch for Setsuna after he rejects her in the RE: ending, even though she knows he's her father and in love with her mother.]]
77* MeaningfulName: Rinne's name is spelled with the kanji 凛音, the first kanji meaning "cold" and the second one meaning something like "sound", "noise", or "music".
78* MysticalWhiteHair: It ties into her ethereal look.
79* OlderThanSheLooks: [[spoiler:She's actually 23, though doesn't look it since 5 of those years were spent in cryogenic sleep.]]
80* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler:Setsuna is originally drawn to her due to his memories of Rinné.]]
81* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks very similar to her mother Kuon.
82* SuperDrowningSkills: She never learned how to swim. [[spoiler:She ultimately drowns by throwing herself in the water so Setsuna could use her boat.]]

85[[folder:Karen Kurutsu]]
86!!Karen Kurutsu
87->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaAsumi (Japanese), Creator/AlexisTipton (English)
88[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/210738.jpg]]
89
90The daughter of the island's mayor. She was previously abandoned by her mother, who had become a scientist in the mainland and later died under mysterious circumstances. Because of this, she becomes enamored with the mainland, particularly after she visited it with her mother during her childhood.
91----
92* AbusiveParents: Her father is trying to control her life and force her into an arranged marriage.
93* AdaptationalCurves: She has a noticeably larger chest in the anime adaptation.
94* AlliterativeName: '''K'''aren '''K'''urutsu
95* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Hair and eyes appear to be the same color.
96* TheDitherer: While she genuinely does want to leave the island, her fear leads her to take plans and routes with no chance of actually succeeding. The truth is, Karen would rather dream of her magical prince whisking her away than risk the actual dangers of leaving on her own.
97* TheDitz: Karen will believe whatever you tell her, no matter how silly, as long as it doesn't sound supernatural.
98* EskimosArentReal: When Sara jokingly suggests that the mainland may not exist, Karen buys into the scepticism immediately.
99* FirstKiss: Setsuna claims to have had his first kiss with Karen in a dark room. (Which, while misleading out of context, is true.)
100* GirlishPigtails: They show she's more innocent than her foul mouth suggests.
101* HappilyEverAfter: [[spoiler:Karen's route ends like this. With either the prospect of marriage or an actual wedding taking place.]]
102* IfItsYouItsOkay: Setsuna says that if Karen insults him, it's okay.
103* MissingMom: See Parental Abandonment.
104* ParentalAbandonment: She was previously abandoned by her mother.
105* ReasonYouSuckSpeech: Karen to Sara, because [[spoiler:she resents Sara for rejecting Moritsugu's adoption offer, forcing her to inherit the family title.]]
106* TheRunaway: At the beginning of the game. Until Setsuna spoils her plan, anyway. She applies to be a maid at Rinne's house to fund her runaway.
107* SweetTooth: Mentioning desserts to Karen is an instant mood improver.

110[[folder:Sara Garando]]
111!!Sara Garando
112->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RieMurakawa (game) (Japanese), Creator/HibikuYamamura (anime) (Japanese), Creator/DaniChambers (English)
113[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/210739.jpg]]
114
115The island's {{Miko}}. She initially believed that her parents died in a fire five years prior to the start of the story, although it is revealed that her mother is still alive and working as a nurse in a clinic. She also believed that her parents came from the future due to a mark on her body, although it is revealed that the mark was branded on her when she was young, as part of her family's traditions.
116----
117* ACupAngst: Despite being 16 years old, she has quite a childish figure. [[spoiler:Averted with her distant descendant, who mentions she had a growth spurt at 18 years of age. It is implied Sara will go through this as well.]]
118* AfraidOfBlood: When Sara tries to attack Setsuna, [[EpicFail she trips]] and gets a nosebleed. When she notices she screams in panic.
119* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Sara asks Karen whether [[spoiler:going to the mainland would really allow her to easily find her dreams.]]
120* BreakTheCutie: While not necessarily sweet and lovable in the sense that she can literally kill Setsuna in her introduction (and is the ''only'' character who [[spoiler:is capable of creating a bad ending by getting Setsuna killed]]), she is the most childlike character and that killing is itself tied into her breaking. Sara starts the game living on her own at sixteen, having lost both of her biological parents in a fire five years prior and having ran away from her adopted family for the father being abusive. In her Route, things only get worse before they get better. [[spoiler:She discovers that her family's role of fighting the island's endemic disease has involved many a SadisticChoice, leading to a dark reputation. After a storm kills her pet chicken, making her feel compelled by her mother's teachings to turn it into food, and leads her into performing a MercyKill on a dog that became fatally ill to begin with as an indirect consequence of her actions, Sara becomes convinced that she is destined to live up to her family's reputation and wants to kill herself before it can escalate further. To make things worse, it turns out her mother actually survived, but knowingly abandoned her, and her father actually ''did'' become a murderer and even killed her childhood friend]].
121* BrokenBird: [[spoiler:A textbook example.]]
122* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She's eccentric about all supernatural phenomena and attributes the supernatural to practically everything.
123* CuteAndPsycho: [[spoiler:Sara is bent on killing Setsuna at first, her reasoning behind it is rather fuzzy too. Despite almost always being played for laughs, She actually kills him in 2 bad endings. The first one is right when Setsuna meets her. She stabs Setsuna in cold blood and all she does is laugh creepily. The second one is even worse, as an arbitrary set of choices triggers a psychotic episode and she repeatedly stabs Setsuna to death during her route.]]
124%%* GoodWithNumbers
125* GrandfatherParadox: [[spoiler:Half this and half a causality paradox. She somehow infers that she is destined to give birth to herself by going back in time and marrying her father. She's totally wrong.]]
126* HappilyEverAfter: [[spoiler:Sara's route ends like this. With either the prospect of marriage or an actual wedding taking place.]]
127* LaserGuidedKarma: Whenever Sara attempts to assassinate Setsuna, it backfires.
128* MadwomanInTheAttic: This doesn't help the fact that she's already quite mentally disturbed.
129* MessyHair: It's massive and curly.
130* {{Miko}}: She's the miko of the Garando shrine, trying to help the island in it's spiritual matters.
131* MyOwnGrampa: She is utterly convinced she is her own mother due to the timing of Setsuna's arrival and her mother's birthmark-including StrongFamilyResemblance.
132* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Her mother faked her own death and abandoned Sara for the mainland.]]
133* RightForTheWrongReasons: She's actually right that [[spoiler:Setsuna tried to return to the past to kill his to save his beloved]], but most of the actual details are wrong.
134* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Sara and corn. So much that Karen gives her bags of corn as presents, and she still wants more at Ryuuguu.
135* WrongGenreSavvy: She's well versed in supernatural matters like time-travel and time paradoxes, but she frequently attributes mysteries to them rather than [[OccamsRazor finding a more mundane explanation]]. This causes a lot of problems in her and Rinne's routes.

139[[folder:Kuon Ohara]]
140!!Kuon Ohara
141->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RinaSato (Japanese), Creator/MorganGarrett (English)
142[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/219873.jpg]]
143
144----
145* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: She's Rinne's mother and looks like she could be Rinne's twin.
146* DeadPersonImpersonation: [[spoiler:She impersonates the deceased Ohara Kuon in order to keep the family's Matriarchal system intact.]]
147* {{Hikikomori}}: Kuon Ohara locks herself in her room and prefers to communicate with visitors with written notes. [[spoiler:Because she has contracted a serious skin disease, and does not want anyone to see her in broad daylight.]]
148* IdentityImpersonator: [[spoiler:Starting out as the Ohara's maid, she is eventually made to take on Kuon's identity. [[BecomingTheMask She never drops the act]]. At least not till the RE: Ending.]]
149* {{Manchild}}: Kuon wears children's clothes, including a hood with animal horns, draws a heart at the end of each line in her notes, and talks in an immature manner.
150* MumLooksLikeASister: What little we see of her face looks a lot like Rinne.
151* OldFlameFizzle: Possibly. [[spoiler:Rinné once loved Setsuna and wanted to be with him forever, but Kuon ships him and Rinne (or whatever girl's route he's on), turns down any flirting you might select, and is bitter and hostile to him once her identity is revealed. That said, she she still keeps the collar Setsuna gave her during their pseudo wedding and has some ShipTease MaybeEverAfter moments with him in the RE: ending.]]
152* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:Kuon suspected that Rinne's fascination with the Setsuna and Rinne of legend would lead to her Rinne's suicide, but Kuon was too afraid of explaining the circumstances behind Rinne's alleged "spirited away" to actually dissuade her from it.]]
153* SayItWithHearts: She ends her notes with little hearts unless [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness it's a serious issue.]]
154* ShipperOnDeck: Though she's still happy to give Setsuna advice with the other girls, she really wants him to be with Rinne.
155* TalkingWithSigns: She slides writing on paper under the door for Setsuna, though she talks normally when face-to-face.
156* TheNotLoveInterest: Kuon has a lot of chemistry with Setsuna, particularly when she slyly plays along with his ChivalrousPervert antics rather than being exasperated like the rest of the girls. Setsuna can even lament at one point that there's no [[RomanceSidequest route to romance her]]. [[spoiler:Subverted when it turns out that she's actually his [[OfficialCouple true love]] all along, and the GoldenEnding is for her]].
157* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: [[spoiler:She's both Kuon and Rinné.]]
158* WalkingSpoiler: Learning [[spoiler:[[DeadPersonImpersonation she's not actually Kuon]]]] is a major reveal. Learning she's [[spoiler:actually Rinné]] is story changing.

168* CoolCar: His cop car is a Datsun C110 Skyline.
169* LikesOlderWomen: He was previously in love with [[spoiler:Karen's mom]] and is a well-known MILF lover.

189* BigBrotherInstinct: He's been studying hard for years in order to prove himself worthy of being the Kurutsus successor and breaking Karen out of her fate.

245[[folder:Spoiler Characters]]
246!!Setsuna Ohara
247
248The actual child of the Ohara family (making him Rinne's adoptive brother in a sense) and the true identity of the Setsuna that Rinne remembers.
249----
250* PosthumousCharacter: His death is crucial to everything about Rinne at the beginning of the game, from her obsession with Setsuna to her missing the last five years. His skeleton is eventually seen in both versions of the story, but he gets more extensive flashbacks in the anime.
251* SentIntoHiding: His parents hid him away in a shack on a rocky shelf that became inaccessible at high tides. Since he was an only male child in a matriarchal lineage and he inherited a disease the island wanted to eradicate, no one much wanted him to exist.
252* WalkingSpoiler: The fact that he's a separate character from Setsuna Sanzenkai is a major spoiler for the first half of the game. The fact that he's actually an Ohara cascades into reveals for a bunch of other characters.
253
254!!Setsuna O'hara
255
256Setsuna Ohara's future counterpart, Rinné's brother, and Sarah's lover who was part of an expedition to search for Avalon.
257----
258* AdaptedOut: The anime never mentions him at all, leading you to have to infer his existence by reading between the lines.
259* LoveAcrossBattlelines: Despite being a revolutionary leader, he fell in love with Sarah, the heir to the government he was revolting against. This actually leads to two sides coming to an understanding. Unfortunately, it falls apart when it turns out the goal the revolutionaries were fighting for is determined to be hopeless after all, leading to the government burying the truth with his death.
260* OddNameOut: While the rest of the future counterparts have subtly Westernized versions of their given ''and'' family names, Setsuna exactly retains his Japanese given name. Narratively, this helps faciliate the repetition of Setsuna and Rinne's names (Rinne was just lucky to not need to change) and Setsuna Sanzenkai being able to adopt his identity.
261* PosthumousCharacter: Him having been dead is key for two elements of the future era: the government knowing that there is no hope in the outside world due to him dying to the soot-blight syndrome, and Setsuna Sanzenkai having the opportunity to use his identity because he's officially only missing.
262
263!!Rinné O'hara
264->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukariTamura (Japanese), Creator/JadSaxton (English)
265
266Rinne's future counterpart who first discovers Setsuna out in the snow outside the ISLAND.
267----
268* DisasterScavengers: Spends her free time digging through the snow to the lost relics of past eras.
269* GadgeteerGenius: Rinné made a cold sleep machine out of scraps, and generally has great instincts for technology.
270* ThePollyanna: Is cheerful and optimistic, even in the absolute CrapsackWorld she lives in. Even after her only remaining family dies and her entire society collapses, leaving the actual end of the world on the near horizon, she keeps her spirits up. The only thing that finally breaks her is realizing that she wasn't building a time machine after all, and she and Setsuna were not able to save the world.
271* TraumaticCSection: Was born this way. When her mother was told that it was the last day for children to be given collars, she tore open her own belly to ensure that Rinné would get one, even though it cost her own life.
272
273!!Karin Kurz
274->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaAsumi (Japanese), Creator/AlexisTipton (English)
275
276Karen's future counterpart. She was born just too late to receive a collar, and thus leads the collarless children in the underbelly of the ISLAND.
277----
278* AFatherToHisMen: Karin leads the collarless children like a revolutionary army, but the entire reason she does so is for their sake in a world that has literally thrown them away.
279* ChildSoldiers: Karin and her allies have been forced to turn themselves into a revolutionary army in order to survive in a world where they are not allowed to have food or shelter.
280
281!!Sarah Garland
282->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RieMurakawa (game) (Japanese), Creator/HibikuYamamura (anime) (Japanese), Creator/DaniChambers (English)
283
284The daughter of the cardinal who rules the ISLAND. Unlike the rest of the government figures, she cares a lot for the downtrodden and uses her position to sneak the collarless children food.
285----
286* ContrastingReplacementCharacter: Unlike Karin and Rinné, who share a lot in common with their 1999 counterparts, Sarah is nearly the opposite of Sara, from personality to appearance. Sara had no one in her life and had a dark side, while Sarah is the beloved princess of her land and is benevolent to a fault. While Sara was the smallest and youngest of the original girls, Sarah is the oldest and tallest of the future set, and Setsuna can't get over her having a huge chest unlike Sara.
